Dear god.

I have been looking for this for YEARS.

Thank you so much for uploading this. I was so disappointed when the library threw out all the old tapes. There're still a few videos I'm looking for--I can't remember what they're called, or what they're about, honestly. Anyway. Thank you. A lot.

Throughout the early 1980's we used to take this out from the library on 16mm film reels and project it on our living room wall. Waited for ages to see it again, thank you for posting!

to date myself...I was first year in college and saw 1977 animated festival winners on campus. Was mesmerized then, and still am. Amazing!

[papoj1PVR]

@Montork

Same here, and that was about 8 years ago for me. I was on a flight from Bangkok to Los Angeles and they happened to show this short film . :)

[djlumpyrulesok]

I first saw this on TV about 30 years ago - as beautiful and captivating now as it was back then

@eshakunamatata FYI, this film is not French, it's Canadian. You evidently did not read the description, nor the film's credits : "National Film Board of Canada"

[eshakunamatata]

Oh, I get it. It's only Canadian.

I suppose this film was made on Wednesday, June 1, 1977.

[QAFtuvok101]

@eshakunamatata Why this strange fascination with that date ?

[eshakunamatata]

Maybe this Canadian Short Film came out on the 1st of June 1977 on Wednesday.

That's why.

I had a recording of this on betamax growing up, and my whole family loved it. And the quality of this video is really impressive. Thank you so much for posting this!

[sneelhtak]

I loved this growing up!
